¡Excelente comunicación con una persona real! Te llevarán A CUALQUIER LUGAR, sin rutas preestablecidas para elegir.

Un cambio de planes de último minuto y Daytrip fue nuestro último recurso, así que hablé con ellos y recibí una respuesta inmediata de una persona real, la mejor situación posible. Nunca habíamos usado Daytrip antes, pero las reseñas eran increíbles, así que nos arriesgamos y reservamos un conductor a eso de las 11-12 de la noche. A las 7 de la mañana siguiente, cuando despertamos, ya nos habían encontrado un conductor y el conductor ya nos había enviado un mensaje de texto para ponerse en contacto. Muy impresionados y definitivamente los usaremos de nuevo. Viajamos de Dubrovnik, Croacia, a Tivat, Montenegro.

Transporte Perfecto

Andreas hizo un gran trabajo recogiéndonos en el puerto de cruceros de El Pireo y llevándonos a nuestro alojamiento en Spata. Los tres veníamos de un largo crucero y teníamos 9 piezas de equipaje. Llegó con un vehículo adecuado y cargó y descargó todo el equipaje. Estamos muy contentos con nuestra decisión de reservar con Daytrip.

Great site for booking transport, very easy

Really great site, I highly recommend it if you’re looking for long transport. You’re paying for convenience and being able to book on your own time, in advance and not have to wait for public transit. We booked 3 rides in Costa Rica: San Jose to La Fortuna, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio to San Jose. The communication before and during the trip was great, very easy process. Our driver for the first and last ride was Cesar Matamoros, he was great! He spoke English and Spanish and was very knowledgeable about the country. We learned a lot from him! Our other driver for the second trip was named Jason and he mainly spoke Spanish. We added a stop during the ride at a beautiful garden and he waited for us while we explored. And he added a bonus stop for us to the crocodile bridge!

The Daytrip driver advantage

Daytrip driver
  • Local knowledge about the route from San José to La Fortuna
    Including available sights:
  • English speaking*

    All Daytrip drivers speak English* as well as their native language (and sometimes additional languages too!). They'll be happy to discuss local history and culture with you, as well as answer any questions you may have. And because they speak the language, they're able to provide you with a unique opportunity to connect with local culture. *Drivers for Lite service aren't required to speak English but must meet all other standards.

  • Safety first!

    We screen all our drivers for criminal and traffic records, and personally interview each one. We also inspect their cars for safety, comfort, and reliability. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road.

  • Experts on the route from San José to La Fortuna

Flexible cancellation policy
